KellyJ. Marshall, Managing PartnerBrookfield Asset Management and Ron Lloyd, Chirman and CEO, Credit Suisse Securities (Canada Inc.) are talking on the set about their relationship.
About the partnership between CreditSuisse and Brookfield:
BAM has never been like other asset management companies. Ever since forming in the late 1890s, its focus has been long term growth.
It's left the fast profit, churn and burn approach to other asset management companies, and concentrated instead in investments that are altogether more tangible.
Like the $19 billion worth of renewable power assets that it's gradually built up since its first foray into hydroelectric power production in 1916.

Denmark’s decision to confiscate valuables from asylum seekers is similar to the practice in Switzerland, which has been in effect for more than 20 years. It is coming in for criticism too. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)
Swiss law states that asylum seekers have to disclose their assets. According to certain criteria – such as the amount and/or lack of proof of the origin of the assets – the authorities can demand that it be handed over. According to Léa Wertheimer from the State Secretariat for Migration, the law says that asylum seekers - that have some means - contribute towards the costs they incur in Switzerland. These are the costs from asylum request procedures and receiving shelter.
More than 100 asylum seekers had to hand over their savings to the Swiss authorities last year. Those arriving without money or valuables will also have to pay eventually. When working, they must give up to 10 per cent of their wages during the first 10 years of their stay or until they have paid back a total of 15.000 francs. The SwissRefugee Council is critical of the practice.

The Swiss franc has traditionally been a safe haven for investors in times of crisis. Why exactly has the Swiss National Bank been doing everything it can to sully the currency's reputation? (MicheleAndina & MatthewAllen, swissinfo.ch).
The banking crash of 2008 plunged several countries into stagnation or recession. Investors looked for a place that would preserve what assets they had left. People scrambled out of the euro and the US dollar and into the Swiss franc. This quickly had a dramatic effect on exchange rates. By the end of 2009 the euro had dropped below CHF1.50. Swiss exporters saw the price of their goods rise, making them less competitive in their main market of Europe.
To make matters worse, the Swiss franc was also appreciating against the US dollar. In the autumn of 2010 $1 cost less than CHF1. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) decided to act. It printed Swiss francs and used them to buy up euros in an attempt to stop the franc from appreciating too strongly. This came at a cost. The SNB policy was increasingly criticized for being too unstable and risky.

The jobs cull at Credit Suisse is not over - say sources - as the bank is set to axe some of its top directors next month.
While Credit Suisse declined to comment, sources say that the Swiss bank plans to slash one third of senior employees in its European investment banking department after a weaker economy and regulatory capital requirement levels eat into its balance sheet.
The move to cull bankers - that mainly advise on mergers and acquisitions, stock market listings, financing and debt issues - is said to be part of Credit Suisse's previously announced global efficiency programme that is aimed to cut costs and shore up capital.
As of the end of the first quarter this year, Credit Suisse had already axed 2000 people, which means there is 1500 left to go in its target 7 percent.
Credit Suisse has not outlined dates for when the remaining job cuts will take place.
Credit Suisse, like all investment banks is in a frenzy to shore up capital in order to legally comply with regulators over capital requirement levels as well as reduce its risk assets under BaselIII rules.
In tandem, a weak Eurozone environment and weakening economies in the face of the ongoing sovereign debt crisis has haemorrhaged cash.
Credit Suisse has also faced recent criticism from the Swiss national bank to bolster its capital base by halting dividends and issuing shares while ALSO being downgraded by three notches by ratings agency Moody's.
Written and Presented by Lianna Brinded.

Credit Suisse

Credit Suisse Group is a Switzerland-based multinational financial services holding company, headquartered in Zürich, that operates the Credit Suisse Bank and other financial services investments. The company is organized as a stock corporation with four divisions: Investment Banking, Private Banking, Asset Management, and a Shared Services Group that provides marketing and support to the other three divisions.

Credit Suisse was founded by Alfred Escher in 1856 under the name Schweizerische Kreditanstalt (SKA, English: Swiss Credit Institution) in order to fund the development of Switzerland's rail system. It issued loans that helped create Switzerland's electrical grid and the European rail system. It also helped develop the country's currency system and funded entrepreneurship. In the 1900s Credit Suisse began shifting to retail banking in response to the elevation of the middle-class and the growing popularity of savings accounts. Credit Suisse partnered with First Boston in 1978. After a large failed loan put First Boston under financial stress, Credit Suisse bought a controlling share of the bank in 1988. In the 1990s, Credit Suisse acquired the Winterthur Group, Swiss Volksbank, Swiss American Securities Inc. (SASI) and Bank Leu among others. In the year 2000, it added the U.S. investment firm Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette.

Switzerland

Switzerland (/ˈswɪtsərlənd/), officially the Swiss Confederation (Latin:Confoederatio Helvetica, hence its abbreviation CH), is a country in Europe. While still named the "Swiss Confederation" for historical reasons, modern Switzerland is a federaldirectorial republic consisting of 26cantons, with Bern as the seat of the federal authorities, called Bundesstadt ("federal city"). The country is situated in Western and Central Europe, and is bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. Switzerland is a landlocked country geographically divided between the Alps, the Swiss Plateau and the Jura, spanning an area of 41,285km2 (15,940sqmi). While the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory, the Swiss population of approximately 8 million people is concentrated mostly on the Plateau, where the largest cities are to be found: among them are the two global and economic centres, Zürich and Geneva.

Asset

In financial accounting, an asset is an economic resource. Anything tangible or intangible that can be owned or controlled to produce value and that is held to have positive economic value is considered an asset. Simply stated, assets represent value of ownership that can be converted into cash (although cash itself is also considered an asset).

The balance sheet of a firm records the monetary value of the assets owned by the firm. It is money and other valuables belonging to an individual or business. Two major asset classes are tangible assets and intangible assets. Tangible assets contain various subclasses, including current assets and fixed assets. Current assets include inventory, while fixed assets include such items as buildings and equipment.

Brookfield Asset Management

Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. is a global alternative asset manager with over $200 billion of assets under management, focusing on the real asset sectors of property, renewable energy and infrastructure. The firm's assets are concentrated in property, renewable power, infrastructure and private equity.

The company was founded in 1899 as a builder and operator of electricity and transport infrastructure in Brazil; the company's earlier name of "Brascan" reflected this history ("Brasil" + "Canada"). The company provided electricity and tram services in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and the Brazilian side after the split is still known as "Light", short for Brazilian Traction, Light and Power Co. Ltd. Over the next century, the company expanded and it is now an owner and operator of approximately $220 billion of real assets, with 28,000 employees in over 100 offices in 20 different countries. The company's major public subsidiaries include Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners, Brookfield Property Partners, Brookfield Canada Office Properties, Brookfield Incorporações, Brookfield Office Properties, Brookfield Residential Properties Inc., Brookfield Infrastructure Partners, and Brookfield Real Estate Services.

Why a central bank hates a safe haven

The Swiss franc has traditionally been a safe haven for investors in times of crisis. Why exactly has the Swiss National Bank been doing everything it can to sully the currency's reputation? (MicheleAndina & MatthewAllen, swissinfo.ch).
The banking crash of 2008 plunged several countries into stagnation or recession. Investors looked for a place that would preserve what assets they had left. People scrambled out of the euro and the US dollar and into the Swiss franc. This quickly had a dramatic effect on exchange rates. By the end of 2009 the euro had dropped below CHF1.50. Swiss exporters saw the price of their goods rise, making them less competitive in their main market of Europe.
To make matters worse, the Swiss franc was also appreciating against the US dollar. In the autumn of 2010...

Credit Suisse To Axe More Jobs

The jobs cull at Credit Suisse is not over - say sources - as the bank is set to axe some of its top directors next month.
While Credit Suisse declined to comment, sources say that the Swiss bank plans to slash one third of senior employees in its European investment banking department after a weaker economy and regulatory capital requirement levels eat into its balance sheet.
The move to cull bankers - that mainly advise on mergers and acquisitions, stock market listings, financing and debt issues - is said to be part of Credit Suisse's previously announced global efficiency programme that is aimed to cut costs and shore up capital.
As of the end of the first quarter this year, Credit Suisse had already axed 2000 people, which means there is 1500 left to go in its target 7 percent.

Credit Suisse Research Institute Global Wealth Report 2017

According to the eighth edition of the Credit SuisseResearch Institute’s GlobalWealthReport, in the year to mid-2017, total global wealth rose at a rate of 6.4%, the fastest pace since 2012 and reached USD 280 trillion, a gain of USD 16.7 trillion. This reflected widespread gains in equity markets matched by similar rises in non-financial assets, which moved above the pre-crisis year 2007's level for the first time this year. Wealth growth also outpaced population growth, so that global mean wealth per adult grew by 4.9% and reached a new record high of USD 56,540 per adult. This year's report focuses in on Millennials and their wealth accumulation prospects.

Denmark’s decision to confiscate valuables from asylum seekers is similar to the practice in Switzerland, which has been in effect for more than 20 years. It is coming in for criticism too. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)
Swiss law states that asylum seekers have to disclose their assets. According to certain criteria – such as the amount and/or lack of proof of the origin of the assets – the authorities can demand that it be handed over. According to Léa Wertheimer from the State Secretariat for Migration, the law says that asylum seekers - that have some means - contribute towards the costs they incur in Switzerland. These are the costs from asylum request procedures and receiving shelter.
More than 100 asylum seekers had to hand over their savings to the Swiss authorities last year. Those arriving without money or valuables will also have to pay eventually. When working, they must give up to 10 per cent of their wages during the first 10 years of their stay or until they have paid back a total of 15.000 francs. The SwissRefugee Council is critical of the practice.

The Swiss franc has traditionally been a safe haven for investors in times of crisis. Why exactly has the Swiss National Bank been doing everything it can to sully the currency's reputation? (MicheleAndina & MatthewAllen, swissinfo.ch).
The banking crash of 2008 plunged several countries into stagnation or recession. Investors looked for a place that would preserve what assets they had left. People scrambled out of the euro and the US dollar and into the Swiss franc. This quickly had a dramatic effect on exchange rates. By the end of 2009 the euro had dropped below CHF1.50. Swiss exporters saw the price of their goods rise, making them less competitive in their main market of Europe.
To make matters worse, the Swiss franc was also appreciating against the US dollar. In the autumn of 2010 $1 cost less than CHF1. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) decided to act. It printed Swiss francs and used them to buy up euros in an attempt to stop the franc from appreciating too strongly. This came at a cost. The SNB policy was increasingly criticized for being too unstable and risky.

The jobs cull at Credit Suisse is not over - say sources - as the bank is set to axe some of its top directors next month.
While Credit Suisse declined to comment, sources say that the Swiss bank plans to slash one third of senior employees in its European investment banking department after a weaker economy and regulatory capital requirement levels eat into its balance sheet.
The move to cull bankers - that mainly advise on mergers and acquisitions, stock market listings, financing and debt issues - is said to be part of Credit Suisse's previously announced global efficiency programme that is aimed to cut costs and shore up capital.
As of the end of the first quarter this year, Credit Suisse had already axed 2000 people, which means there is 1500 left to go in its target 7 percent.
Credit Suisse has not outlined dates for when the remaining job cuts will take place.
Credit Suisse, like all investment banks is in a frenzy to shore up capital in order to legally comply with regulators over capital requirement levels as well as reduce its risk assets under BaselIII rules.
In tandem, a weak Eurozone environment and weakening economies in the face of the ongoing sovereign debt crisis has haemorrhaged cash.
Credit Suisse has also faced recent criticism from the Swiss national bank to bolster its capital base by halting dividends and issuing shares while ALSO being downgraded by three notches by ratings agency Moody's.

Credit Suisse Emerging Consumer Survey 2017

Consumer sentiment has improved from a year ago across eight major emerging markets with three Asian countries – India, Indonesia and China - topping the scorecard in our seventh edition of the CSRI Emerging Consumer Survey. Pressure has also eased on consumers in those countries with currencies sensitive to commodity prices but, in contrast, sentiment in Turkey and Mexico has declined on concerns surrounding geo-political developments. As the emerging middle class continues to grow, we highlight a series of key themes including rising connectivity within e-commerce, the growth of domestic brands and an added new theme of consumers becoming more “conscious” and increasingly adopting a healthier lifestyle.

Travel and TourismSwitzerland is the best place. Switzerland (/ˈswɪtsərlənd/; German: Schweiz [ˈʃvaɪts];French: Suisse [sɥis(ə)]; Italian: Svizzera [ˈzvittsera]; Romansh: Svizra [ˈʒviːtsrɐ] or [ˈʒviːtsʁːɐ]), officially the Swiss Confederation (Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica, hence its abbreviation CH), is a country in Europe. While still named the "Swiss Confederation" for historical reasons, modern Switzerland is a federal directorial republic consisting of 26 cantons, with Bern as the seat of the federal authorities, called Bundesstadt ("federal city").The country is situated in Western and Central Europe, where it is bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. Switzerland is a landlocked country geographically divided between the Alps, the Swiss Plateau and the Jura, spanning an area of 41,285 km2 (15,940 sq mi). While the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory, the Swiss population of approximately 8 million people is concentrated mostly on the Plateau, where the largest cities are to be found; among them are the two global and economic centres of Zürich and Geneva.
The establishment of the Swiss Confederation is traditionally dated to 1 August 1291, which is celebrated annually as Swiss National Day. The country has a long history of armed neutrality—it has not been in a state of war internationally since 1815—and did not join the United Nations until 2002. Nevertheless, it pursues an active foreign policy and is frequently involved in peace-building processes around the world. In addition to being the birthplace of the Red Cross, Switzerland is home to numerous international organizations, including the second largest UN office. On the European level, it is a founding member of the European Free Trade Association, but notably, it is not part of the European Union, nor the European Economic Area (and thus does not use the Euro currency). However the country does participate in the Schengen Area and the EU's single market through a number of bilateral treaties.
Straddling the intersection of Germanic and Romance Europe, Switzerland comprises four main linguistic and cultural regions: German, French, Italian and Romansh. Therefore, the Swiss, although predominantly German-speaking, do not form a nation in the sense of a common ethnicity or language; rather, Switzerland's strong sense of identity and community is founded on a common historical background, shared values such as federalism and direct democracy, and Alpine symbolism.
Switzerland ranks high in several metrics of national performance, including government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, economic competitiveness, and human development. It has the highest nominal wealth per adult (financial and non-financial assets) in the world according to Credit Suisse and the eighth-highest per capita gross domestic product on the IMF list. Zürich and Geneva each have been ranked among the top cities with the highest quality of life in the world (the former coming second globally according to Mercer).

Subduing the enemy: The Ins and Outs of Volatility Trading

Subscribe to this channel: http://www.youtube.com/OpalesqueTV
Volatility is the enemy of most investment strategies, which generally do better in rising than falling markets. Veteran volatility trader Michael Wexler from Maple LeafCapital explains how investors can actually profit from volatility by employing strategies that make more money in higher volatility than low vol environments. This is possible because the dislocation in the pricing of options between fair value and actual trading is bigger at higher volatility levels. Historically, Maple Leaf's funds have made money in both rising and falling markets.
Volatility trading is not a crowded space: 99% of people buying calls and puts do have a directional view and are insensitive to the volatility component of the price. The 1% of ...

Inside Story - Switzerland: Sidestepping banking secrecy

A Swiss government bill was put to parliament to allow Swiss banks to hand over internal information to the US authorities, in a move that was previously outlawed, to co-operate with US investigators and to help what they said was a prevention of continuing criminal activity.

The Goldman Sachs 'Abacus' CDOs - During the boom in housing prices, beginning in 2004, Goldman Sachs developed mortgage-related securities, known as synthetic collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). Through April 2007 Goldman issued over 20 of the CDOs -- which it dubbed "Abacus" -- for a total of $10.9 billion. The securities performed very poorly and by April 2010, Bloomberg reported that at least $5 billion worth of the securities either carried "junk" ratings, or had defaulted. According to an article in the New York Times (Morgenson 2009) while Goldman Sachs sold the Abacus mortgage-backed CDOs to investors, it "shorted" the CDOs, i.e. bet against them, earning large profits while its customers lost billions.(Morgenson 2009) The Times gave as an example of the $800 million HudsonMe...

Argentina's Economic Collapse (Memoria Del Saqueo 2004)

Documentary on the events that led to the economic collapse of Argentina in 2001 which wiped out the middle class and raised the level of poverty to 57.5%. Central to the collapse was the implementation of neo-liberal policies which enabled the swindle of billions of dollars by foreign banks and corporations. Many of Argentina's assets and resources were shamefully plundered. Its financial system was even used for money laundering by Citibank, Credit Suisse, and JP Morgan. The net result was massive wealth transfers and the impoverishment of society which culminated in many deaths due to oppression and malnutrition. Official name: Memoria del Saqueo by Fernando Solanas2003.

TagesCapitalLLP is one of the most active and experienced providers of seed and acceleration capital to emerging alternative fund managers. Tages Capital has invested over $700m of seeding/acceleration capital across 15 transactions over the past 4 years and is part of Tages Group, an independent, partner-owned international asset management and banking group founded in 2011 with over $17bn in assets today. A number of the original Tages investment team partners, including CIO Salvatore Cordaro and Head of Seeding Strategies Mark de Klerk were previously part of the Credit Suisse multi-manager business based in London.
In this Opalesque.TV BACKSTAGE video, Mark de Klerk points out that the current supply / demand dynamics in the industry are very positive for seed investors. Despite various challenges and depressed returns in the era of central bank intervention, low volatility and high intra sector and asset class correlation, many traditional hedge fund investors and private equity allocators are increasingly partnering with dedicated seed investors such as Tages for various reasons.
Traditional hedge fund investors view seeding as a way of enhancing returns in a low yield environment. They are looking to benefit from participation to what is still a very high margin industry which comes at no additional cost to their fund investment. Seeding provides the investor with a positive convexity to their portfolio as the revenue share contribution can only ever be positive. This can be the difference between targeting a 12-15% net IRR as compared to targeting a 5% net annualised return in a relatively low volatility portfolio. Investors can also benefit from access to low fees and preferential capacity rights.
Allocators coming from the private equity side like the fact that the investor has a natural exit via fund redemption rights, portfolio diversification benefits and numerous contractual downside protections. The target IRR compares favourably to what they are currently being offered in the private equity space but with a much lower expected investment duration and arguably at a more favourable point in the investment cycle as compared to funds currently being raised in the private equity space.
Mark also talks about:
- How is Tages differentiated from other seed investors?
- Why seeders could actually benefit from the ongoing maturation of the industry
- How seeding is different from buying minority GP equity stakes: Often lumped together, but with far different risks and rewards
- The main criteria Tages is looking for in an ideal seeding prospect
- Benefits that seeders can negotiate and provide to investors
- The role of risk factors and how seeders manage the down side risk
- Tages’ current seeding pipeline: a high quality opportunity set
Mark de Klerk is PM and Head of Seeding Strategies for Tages Capital. He joined Tages in June 2011 as a day one partner. He is the former Head of Operational Due Diligence responsible for European based managers at Credit Suisse Asset Management and Global Head of Due Diligence at Credit Suisse International where he was a Director within the Fund Linked Products group. Prior to joining Credit Suisse in 2005, Mark worked in various roles including EquityResearch, Corporate Planning and ProductControl for Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse and UBS.

This is possible because the dislocation in the pricing of options between fair value and actual trading is bigger at higher volatility levels. Historically, Maple Leaf's funds have made money in both rising and falling markets.
Volatility trading is not a crowded space: 99% of people buying calls and puts do have a directional view and are insensitive to the volatility component of the price. The 1% of dedicated volatility traders has therefore ample opportunities to extract value from over- or underpriced options.
This Opalesque BACKSTAGE video with Maple Leaf Co-Founder Michael Wexler is an in-depth introduction into this uncorrelated but often misunderstood asset class, divided into the following chapters:
1. 00:24 (min:sec): 20 years of Derivatives Trading, Specializing in Volatility
Maple Leaf's Evolution:
- 2002: Trading VIX before the index was created
- 2004-09: Expansion to multi-asset, multi strat long/short vol trading
From $4m to over $1bn with strong returns
- 2010: Focusing on liquid, exchange traded instruments as the "plumbing" of OTC is broken
2. 04:57 - Volatility Trading 101
- What is volatility trading?
- How does it work?
- What are the return drivers?
1% vs. the 99%: Why Vol trading isn't crowded
3. 07:21 - The Structural Alpha in Volatility Trading
Typical insurance contracts are nothing other than a put
While insurance products (put protections) are always overpriced, puts and calls in financial markets are generally overpriced = structural alpha
4. 11:17 - Volatility Trading Strategies and Funds
- How do they differ?
- Shortcomings of long vol and short vol funds
5. 14:42 - How Maple Leaf is different
- Multi asset / diversified in order to survive
- The hidden risk in pure equity vol funds
- Short vol bias with long vol hedge
- Focus on liquidity and adaptability
6. 19:39 - Inside the Maple Leaf performance machine
- Trading volatility of the 50 most liquid global assets
- 1 month straddles
- purely quantitative long/short
- What "quantitative" means for vol funds: From "feel" to a clear decision tree
- The power of disassociation
7. 23:59 - Competitive Advantage -- Proprietary Implied Volatility Database
- Maple Leaf built and owns probably the best implied vol database globally with 6000 assets, capturing 30 million datapoints / day:
- Allows rigorous backtesting: Do I really have good (trading) ideas?
- implementing statistically significant, objective& data-driven strategies
8. 28:41 - Risk Management: How to manage short vol
Maple Leaf's risk rules
9. 33:40 - Corporate set up & team of Maple Leaf
Research & IdeaGeneration:
- Rigorous testing shows: almost all new trading ideas don't work
- Each year, only one new strategy gets implemented
10. 37:25 - Volatile markets mean high interest from investors
Investors also realize they need greater diversification & higher returns
New investor base: High net-worth, smaller family offices

A Swiss government bill was put to parliament to allow Swiss banks to hand over internal information to the US authorities, in a move that was previously outlawed, to co-operate with US investigators and to help what they said was a prevention of continuing criminal activity.

The Goldman Sachs 'Abacus' CDOs - During the boom in housing prices, beginning in 2004, Goldman Sachs developed mortgage-related securities, known as synthetic collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). Through April 2007 Goldman issued over 20 of the CDOs -- which it dubbed "Abacus" -- for a total of $10.9 billion. The securities performed very poorly and by April 2010, Bloomberg reported that at least $5 billion worth of the securities either carried "junk" ratings, or had defaulted. According to an article in the New York Times (Morgenson 2009) while Goldman Sachs sold the Abacus mortgage-backed CDOs to investors, it "shorted" the CDOs, i.e. bet against them, earning large profits while its customers lost billions.(Morgenson 2009) The Times gave as an example of the $800 million HudsonMezzanineCDO issued in 2006, which Goldman bet against, but also sold to investors. By March 2008, just 18 months after Goldman created the CDO, "so many borrowers had defaulted that holders of the security paid out about $310 million to Goldman and others who had bet against it."
The article further claims Goldman tried to pressure the credit rating service Moody's to rate its products higher than they should have been, and that various rules regarding CDO-default pay outs were modified to favor short sellers in 2005. A Goldman worker named Tetsuya Ishikawa was involved in these deals and later wrote a novel called How I Caused the Credit Crunch.
While the Times claimed Goldman "used the C.D.O.'s to place unusually large negative bets that were not mainly for hedging purposes," Goldman claimed that it was simply hedging, not expecting the CDOs to fail, and denied that its investors were unaware of Goldman's bets against the products it was selling to them.
Goldman and one of its traders, Fabrice Tourre, were later sued by the SEC over circumstances surrounding one of these CDOs, Abacus 2007-AC1. Tourre was found guilty of six of seven charges in August 2013.
On 17 January 2006, CDS Indexco and Markit launched ABX.HE, a subprime mortgage backed credit derivative index with home equity loans as assets, with plans to extend the index to other underlying assets, such as Credit Cards (ABX.CC), Student Loans (ABX.SL) and Auto Loans (ABX.AU). In a marketing presentation(2006 Wiley) CDS IndexCo was described as the owner of the DJ CDX family of credit default swap (CDS) indices formed from a merger of the major CDS indices (iBoxx and Trac-X) in April 2004. It introduced a "second generation product such as index tranches and index options."(Wiley 2006) They launched the HomeEquity (ABX.HE) ABX on 19 January 2006. Advertised daily prices were availability on the Markit website. The purpose of the indices is to allow investors to trade exposures to the subprime market without holding the actual asset backed securities. The ABX.HE Index was created from "qualifying deals of 20 of the largest sub-prime home equity ABS shelf programs from the six month period preceding the roll."(Wiley & 2006 11) The market makers of ABX.HE were listed as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, Barclays Capital, Bank of America, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, [RBSGreenwich, UBS and Wachovia.(Wiley & 2006 13)
These investment firms had "anticipated the crisis. In 2006, Wall Street had introduced a new index, called the ABX, that became a way to invest in the direction of mortgage securities. The index allowed traders to bet on or against pools of mortgages with different risk characteristics, just as stock indexes enable traders to bet on whether the overall stock market, or technology stocks or bank stocks, will go up or down."(Morgenson 2009)
On 14 November2007, Markit Markit acquired International Index Company and agreed to acquire CDS IndexCo.
According to a (Morgenson 2009) New York Times article, Goldman Sachs used an ABX index to bet against (i.e. short) the housing market in 2006. It also "began marketing short bets using the ABX index to hedge funds like Paulson & Company, Magnetar, and Soros Fund Management."(Morgenson 2009)

Documentary on the events that led to the economic collapse of Argentina in 2001 which wiped out the middle class and raised the level of poverty to 57.5%. Central to the collapse was the implementation of neo-liberal policies which enabled the swindle of billions of dollars by foreign banks and corporations. Many of Argentina's assets and resources were shamefully plundered. Its financial system was even used for money laundering by Citibank, Credit Suisse, and JP Morgan. The net result was massive wealth transfers and the impoverishment of society which culminated in many deaths due to oppression and malnutrition.

Why Switzerland takes asylum seekers’ assets

Denmark’s decision to confiscate valuables from asylum seekers is similar to the practice in Switzerland, which has been in effect for more than 20 years. It is coming in for criticism too. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)
Swiss law states that asylum seekers have to disclose their assets. According to certain criteria – such as the amount and/or lack of proof of the origin of the assets – the authorities can demand that it be handed over. According to Léa Wertheimer from the State Secretariat for Migration, the law says that asylum seekers - that have some means - contribute towards the costs they incur in Switzerland. These are the costs from asylum request procedures and receiving shelter.
More than 100 asylum seekers had to hand over their savings to the Swiss authorities last year. Those arriving without money or valuables will also have to pay eventually. When working, they must give up to 10 per cent of their wages during the first 10 years of their stay or until they have paid back a total of 15.000 francs. The SwissRefugee Council is critical of the practice.
